It's fairly literally just a download-and-run kind of deal it seems. Does seem pretty trivial.

It's not always true that appeals must go to some "higher court". In some countries appeals may end up before the same judge, or another judge from the same court.

The US army does indeed, and they would be valid military targets. People working for the EPA, perhaps not so much. Hezbollah however is structured towards support for the militant arm, as the Lebanese government handles civilian tasks.

And I'm sure Islamic State and the Taliban have non-combatant elements too.

I don't mind Israel defending against militant groups that fire rockets into Israel. I do mind them carpet-bombing civilian populations. This pager-thing seems to have the hallmarks of an operation that manages to cripple Hezbollah with a minimal loss of life and even fairly low civilian casualties. I much prefer Israel do this over the alternatives.

There's thousands of Hezbollah militants as well. We don't know yet exactly how targeted the attack was.

Regardless "only" 9 people died so far. Thousands were wounded, but that's much better than land mines would've been. This attack was extraordinarily targeted, and despite there being civilians hurt, they're likely to be less hurt than the militants and unlikely to be among the dead. Every civilian death is a tragedy, but Hezbollah and Israel are in an armed conflict. Some civilian deaths are unavoidable. I much prefer Israel do this than the indiscriminate bombing on Gaza.

9/11 targeted and killed civilians. This attack largely struck Hezbollah militants, who are in open hostilities with Israel. Doing things this way is far better than the seemingly indiscriminate bombing in Gaza.

It's less antisemitic though. Please don't conflate Jewish people with Israel, it's caused enough problems as it is.

I can see this having some advantages over two-folds. The unfolded screen has a better aspect ratio, there's no need for a "back"-screen and all folds have only one screen on them, allowing the full thing to be thinner.

Price is an issue of course, as well as it having HarmonyOS instead of Android (less app compatibility).

Is it? The original artwork was fairly clickbaity imo.

I do not think this is a strong argument. Nobody considers NASA to be the "space Nazis" either, just because some employees had connections with Nazi Germany. It's a huge leap to claim NATO follows or is connected to some Nazi ideology based on this.

There are enough sensors in cars to detect a rythmic motion. It doesn't need cameras for that.

Wikipedia. Google Maps. The store of knowledge available from search engines. I use those all the time. You want to cut them off from that?

That's a bit overdramatic. Most kids have a laptop for schoolwork these days. I personally didn't get a smartphone until I started university, got a Samsung S7 then. I had no issues accessing any of those sources. These days I have a comp sci masters degree, so it definitely didn't "stunt" me in any way.

I read and certainly write way more text than I did in the pre-Internet era. Do you want kids reading and writing less?

Kids reading and writing skills appear to have been declining ever since the rise of the smartphone, so I doubt they're reading anything of sufficient quality to hone those skills a bit.

Schools here have recently mostly banned smartphones, and the kids seem happier for it and their grades and concentration in school is improving. Sound like positives to me.
